No, this is True. Hypothetically speaking, if there was a woman out there Let's Call her "Pauline Morphy"... and she is ultra strong like 3000 rated, and beat Magnus to that milestone! 0 people would stop her from competing for the world chess championship the same as any man. The World Chess Championship is open for men, and women, and children.
I don't believe there is any country that currently restricts women from playing chess or has "Men Only" tournaments where women could not enter if they had the ratings or title requirements.
Even places like Afghanistan, or Sudan or Somalia don't have "Men only" chess rules. Women are allowed to compete around the world.
